I'm not worried about the scale and body I just want the skull, would the teeth stay in?
Also, I have a whole parrotfish in the freezer I could do! (Was not a pet bought to eat haha) they have crazy big and thick scales, the size of a half dollar at like 10 inch

For skull I would just dip in warm water and remove flesh with tweezers and toothpicks. With Maceration sometimes the teeth fallout since there is tissue holding the teeth into the jaw and it rots away. And since the teeth are so small at that size you'd never be able to put them all back. My first tilapia skull was missing 1/3 of its teeth cause of that.
I would remove the gills and tongue too. Ive never been audacious enough to do them. Being familiar with that series of bones is a lot to ask for even for pros.
Take a lot of pictures. It'll help.
Practice on a fish you dont mind messing up. Fish all have the same bones more or less.
I attached a pic of my first tilapia I didn't degrease or whiten it. I didn't degrease or whiten my Senegal either.
